  4. Core Values Matter • Fairchild AFB 24 June 1994 • Czar 52

  5. Overview Core Value Assumptions Core Values Defined Why Core Values Core value Continuum Living Core Values

  6. Core Values Assumptions Core Values are not a chapel program Relevant to everyone regardless of their faith The leader sets the moral tone for the entire organization Don’t need to be a commander to be a leader Leadership from below is as important as leadership from above A culture of compromise is as likely to be the result of bad policies and programs as it is to be character flaws of our people.

  7. Core Value • CAP Core Values (approved Winter Board, Feb 1999) • Integrity • Volunteer Service • Excellence • Respect • Air Force Core Values (published 1997) • Integrity First • Service Before Self • Excellence In All We Do

  8. What are Air Force Core Values? "Our Core Values, Integrity first, Service before self and Excellence in all we do, set the common standard for conduct across the Air Force. These values inspire the trust which provides the unbreakable bond that unifies the force. We must practice them ourselves and expect no less from those with whom we serve." General Michael E. Ryan Chief of Staff United States Air Force

  9. What are CAP Core Values? Well, they’re actually quite simple. These values represent a cultural commitment within Civil Air Patrol: to practice basic honesty, to give of one’s self for the betterment of humanity, to deliver top quality services, and to treat others fairly. In summary, core values require all CAP members to exemplify the highest standards of personal and professional conduct. As former Air Force Chief of Staff General Ronald Fogleman said, core values must guide our daily actions --- “even when no one else is watching.” • CAP P 50-2

  10. What are Air Force Core Values? “They are the values that anchor resolve in the most difficult situations. They are the values that buttress mental and physical courage when we enter combat. In essence, they are the three pillars of professionalism that provide the foundation for the military leadership at every level.” “They provide a common ground and compass by which we can all measure our ideals and actions.” -Secretary of the Air Force Widnall

  11. CAP Core Values Integrity Volunteer Service Excellence Respect

  12. Integrity Willingness to do the Right Thing …even when no one is looking The Bedrock of Professionalism Integrity is the ability to hold together and properly regulate all of the elements of a personality. A person of integrity, for example, is capable of acting on convictions. A person of integrity can control impulses and appetites.

  13. Moral Traits of Integrity Courage To do right even at high personal cost Honesty Our word is our bond. Don’t “pencil-whip” readiness reports, tech data violations… Responsibility Acknowledge duties, act accordingly Openness Free flow of information…provide and seek feedback

  14. Moral Traits of Integrity Accountability Don’t shift blame… “The buck stops here.” Justice Similar acts get similar rewards/punishments Self Respect Do not bring discredit upon self Humility Sobered by awesome responsibility of task The higher the position/rank, the greater the humility

  15. Service Professional Duties Take Precedence Over Personal Duties Behaviors Rule following Do ones duty Respect for Others Place troops ahead of personal comfort Critical for an effective work environment Discipline and Self Control Anger--Refrain from public displays of anger Appetites--Sexual overtures to those you out rank; chemical abuse Religious tolerance--Religion is a matter of individual conscience Do not indulge in self–pity, discouragement, defeatism Faith in the System Avoid the view that you know better than those above you Strike a tone of confidence and forward looking optimism To lose faith in the system is to place Self before Service

  16. Service “The Air Force (and CAP) requires a high level of professional skill, …commitment, and a willingness to make personal sacrifices. Unfortunately, we’ve all seen what happens when people forget that basic tenet. Examples of careerism and self interest are present at every level, but they do the most damage when they are displayed by the leader. If the leader is unwilling to sacrifice individual goals for the good of the organization, it’s hard to convince other unit members to do so. At that point, the mission suffers, and the ripple effects can be devastating.” -Secretary Widnall

  17. Careerism and Self Interest? Darleen Druyun a senior Air Force weapons buyer responsible for $30 billion of purchases every year. Plead guilty to inflating the price of a contract to favor her future employer, Boeing. Arranged jobs at Boeing for her daughter, her daughter’s fiancé, and herself at a $250,000 salary. She was sentenced to nine months in jail for corruption. Darleen Druyun

  18. Servant "Chief Gary Pfingston was an American who always put his country first, a father who always put his family first, and a simply great NCO who always put the Air Force first. I don't know how he did this, how he managed to put three things first, seeming to violate the laws of physics. Maybe he was able to do it because he never paid any attention to himself, and that made a lot of room for the things he loved.” General McPeak Chief of Staff United States Air Force Chief Pfingston recently passed away. He was the 10th Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force and held this highest Air Force enlisted position during Desert Storm, the first Gulf War. He served as Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force from Aug 1990 to Octr 1994. Chief Gary Pfingston

  19. Excellence Sustained passion for continuous improvementand innovation Product/Service Excellence Personal Excellence Complete professional training Stay physically and mentally fit Community Excellence (Members of an organization working together to reach a common goal) Trust and Mutual Respect Individuals have fundamental worth. Discriminate on performance only Give the Benefit of the Doubt Innocent until proven guilty

  20. Excellence Resource Excellence Cradle to Grave Resource Management Material Resource Excellence Ensure that requested equipment is mission essential Human Resource Excellence Recruit, Train, Promote those we actual need and can do the job Promote based on merit and ability only…not just your friends Operational Excellence Internal/External

  21. Excellence Autograph your work with excellence Didn’t your mother tell you, “If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well.” Is 99% good enough? 12 newborns would be given to the wrong parents each day 18,000 pieces of mail would be mishandled 315 entries in Webster’s Dictionary would be misspelled 219 pacemaker operations would be incorrect 21

  22. Are you ready to be Excellent?? “It’s not the will to win that matters…everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters” Paul “Bear” Bryant 22

  23. Excellence -- Are You Prepared to Make A Difference? “To every person, there comes in their lifetime that special moment when they are tapped on the shoulder and offered that chance to do a very special thing, unique to them and fitted to their talents. What a tragedy if that moment finds them unprepared and unqualified for the work that would be their finest hour.”~ Winston Churchill 23

  24. Respect • CAP members come from all walks of life. Therefore, it is extremely important that members treat each other with fairness and dignity, and work together as a team. To do otherwise would seriously impair CAP’s capability to accomplish the mission.

  25. The Devastating Impact of Failed Core Values The Crash of a Czar 52, aB-52 at Fairchild AFB on 24 June 1994 Darker Shades of Blue: A Case Study of Failed Leadership By Maj Tony Kern The players Lt Col “Bud” Holland (AC) Lt Col Mark McGeehan (CP) Wing Staff 25

  26. “Bud” Holland’s Flight History Wing leadership comments: “As good a I’ve seen” “The best pilot I know” View of Jr. Officers: “I’m not flying with him” “He broke regulations every time he flew” May 91 Fairchild Air Show July 91 Squadron CoC May 92 Fairchild Air Show April 93 Global Power Mission Aug 93 Fairchild Air Show Mar 94 on the Bomb Range Czar 52 Fairchild AFB 24 June 1994

  27. Pilots of Czar 52Living Core Values? Lt Col Mark McGeehan Took evidence of a “Bud” Holland’s recklessness to wing leadership. Holland was respected by Wing leadership and was not under McGeehan’s command He requested Holland be grounded. Request denied. Ordered no pilot under his command to fly Holland If a copilot was needed, he would go himself…he was true to his word Lt Col “Bud” Holland Exceeded command and aircraft design limits on almost every flight …80 degrees nose high at air shows As chief of Wing Standardization he knew what the regulations said Told the DO that he was just trying to a “demonstrate aircraft capabilities to the more junior crewmembers” …promised not to do it again

  28. Leadership’s Core Values? How about the Group and Wing leadership? Verbally reprimanded but did not document, therefore following leadership were ignorant and continued to select Holland to fly air shows. When presented evidence of flying violations from a video taken on Holland’s airplane… ADO advised, "I would not show any of this" DO allegedly responded, "Okay, I don't want to know anything about that video -- I don't care.”

  29. Results Killed during the crash of Czar 52 Lt Col “Bud” Holland (AC) Chief of Wing Stan Eval Mr. Air Show Many documented flagrant violations of flight discipline Lt Col Mark McGeehan (CP) Bomb Squadron CC Attempted, but unable to ground Holland for his many violations Flew with Holland so others from his squadron would not have to Attempted ejection My SOS classmate and my friend Col Robert Wolff (Safety Obs) “Fini-flight” His family watched, ready with champagne to toast the end of a great flying career Lt Col Ken Huston (RN) Darker Shades of Blue: A Case Study of Failed Leadership, Maj Tony Kern 29

  30. Why Core Values? Core Values are the price of admission to the Air Force (and CAP) itself Instill confidence Earn lasting respect Create willing followers Anchor in the most difficult times Provide a common compass Help get a fix on the ethical climate of the organization Provide a slap in the face in a climate of ethical corrosion

  31. The Core Values Continuum Every level has to “Walk the Talk” What happens if a supervisor tells his new CAP member, "Core Values? That's what they taught you as a cadet? Now, let me tell you how we really do it." It won't do any good to educate our people in the Core Values if leaders don't also live them.

  32. The Core Values Continuum We need to fix our organizations first! A culture of compromise is as likely to be the result of bad policies and programs as it is to be character flaws of our people. Core Values must be “operationalized” in to the daily business of the organization

  33. Living Core Values(Ethics in action) The three “O”s Owing (or why live the Core Values) Capt Miller, Private Ryan, “Earn this…earn it,” make your life count Ethics based on “me-ism” or “egotism” cannot function Without a sense owing, we are little more that self indulgent children The core of “Service Before Self” Ordering Unit, Corps (AF), God, Country or God, Country, Corps (AF), Unit? “U.S.” comes before “Air Force” on our BDUs Ought to do (understanding what you ought to do) Integrity First…doing the right thing when no one is watching Blind obedience to orders? Only follow lawful orders Based on article by Dr James H Toner, Aerospace Power Journal2003

  34. Living Core Values (Ethics in action) The three “R”s Rules Ethics is more than rules Rules tend to be mini courses in ethics We cannot invent clear rules that govern every circumstance Unethical people can write and apply rules “Integrity First” is more than just a Rule Results Does the ends justify the means? Realities Lying is wrong…Should you lie to a WWII Nazi if you are hiding a Jew in the basement? Based on article by Dr James H Toner, Aerospace Power Journal 2003

  35. The three “D”s Discern Educate ourselves in the light of truth Truth should not be an opinion…opinions are self referencing Be leery of loyalty and sincerity Declare Speak up for the truth Do Act on the truth Do what we say Everyone has values, not everyone has virtue which is the desire to do what “ought” to be done, and then do it Cornerstone of “Excellence” and “Service” Based on article by Dr James H Toner, Aerospace Power Journal2003 Living Core Values (Ethics in action)

  36. Living Core Values Watch your thoughts, they become your words Watch your words, they become your actions Watch your actions, they become your habits Watch your habits, they become character Watch your character, it becomes your destiny Motto of Metropolitan Milwaukee YMCA

  37. Core Values w/o Burnout Be grateful for your talents You have been put in a position of responsibility because of your God given abilities. Many other were not so blessed. Take care of family No one said, “I spent to much time with my children.” Thank them for making your life worth while Take care of yourself Exercise, eat right, see the Doc when needed Learn to laugh at yourself “Jerk” is not in the job description You will make mistakes…Its OK, that is how we learn Have fun and smile…“Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us tobe happy” -Ben Franklin

  38. Core Values Integrity Volunteer Service Excellence Respect

  39. Core Values Matter       "When we think of those who went before us, we should do so with humility, respecting their great personal sacrifice. When we honor our heritage and those with whom we share a common bond and purpose, we are all enriched, and our lives are made a little more worth living.“ An article written by Lt Col McGeehan and published 14 days before his death Lt Col McGeehan Born Jan 1956- Died Jun 1994

  40. Core Values Matter “Every time we act, we become what we have done. In a sense, I become what I do, and then I do what I have become.” “Bud” Holland acted… Lt Col McGeehan acted… How do you and I act?

  41. Core Values “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge and controversy” -Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
